Water water everywhere
I am constantly amazed by intelligent people who have absolutely no clue about US geography outside of the Coasts.
I was talking to a friend who lives in Vegas - a smart person. I mentioned that I was heading to the beach for a day of sand volleyball.
She replied, “Where is there a beach near Cleveland?”
She had a vague idea where the Great Lakes were but never imagined that Cleveland was on a lake. She thought we were in-land, like the rest of the “heartland” as she calls it.
I thought about that as I swam around in between games yesterday. Headlands was packed, as always, and I am sure that many of the other local beaches were too. We have such a great resource here with our water and shoreline. If you don’t take advantage of it regularly, you really should.
I am sure the Vegas and other Western people will learn a little more geography as they run out of water and start making inquiries about tapping into our supply.
